To predict the height of failure, the two key variables are the roof strength index (UCS/pre-mining vertical stress) and the horizontal to vertical stress ratio. By factoring in the stress concentrations that occur about a longwall excavation the criterion can be used to predict heights of failure on initial roadway development and in the maingate.

Suspension theory assumes that the immediate roof of the excavation is weak whereas the upper layer is relatively stronger. In such situations, rockbolts hold the immediate roof to the self-supporting main roof via transmitting the dead weight load of the strata between face plates and anchors to the main roof.

The floor stratum in a coal mine acts as a foundation to support coal pillars and artificial supports, thereby providing support to the mine roof. If the floor is relatively weak, it may fail and dislocate upward into the mine opening. Strong roof strata that do not readily fail transmit most of the overburden load through pillars to the
